I also visited Glenallachie on the same Speyside trip as the Glenlivet - I did a more conventional tour there but it was very good indeed. As always, some very interesting distillery exclusives, and s ...

Another year, another road trip to Speyside. We stayed in Aberlour again but visited different distilleries this time, including Glenlivet which was a very pleasant surprise. I had assumed they would ...

Just a brief question - I know that Westport is teaspooned Glenmorangie, but does anyone know what it's teaspooned with?

Thanks Timp, the road trip was something I'd wanted to do for a long time. What's funny is there are so many distilleries there that I could plan the exact same trip and visit completely different dis ...

Some of them are weirdly expensive, but yes, there always are interesting options. Glen Moray for example always seem to have fantastic value bottle your own casks. This time round Aberfeldy had a 200 ...

Caol Ila is low-ke ...

BigShing has nailed it re. age/price vs. quality especially. I recommend you follow his advice!

Glengoyne 10 or 12 are ideal in my opinion. Balvenie 12 Doublewood and 14 Caribbean Cask also.

Could be, could be the flavour profile, could be your own psychological or physiological make up, that's the difficult thing with whisky: Everyone's approaching it differently. For me I tend to find I ...

Speaking of Glen Grant, one bottle I'd highly recommend is the travel retail 12 year-old, which comes at 48% ABV with no chill-filtration. When I got it last year it was a pleasant surprise that harke ...

Sirius 31

To be fair to them itâ€™s no added colour non chill filtered with an age statement at a strength higher than the minimum 40% which is more than can be said for a lot of official Islay bottling (* ...
